Join us for our first Women in Business Workshop with guest Moni Giles, owner of Evolve with Moni.

Topic: Winning in Friendship: The Relationship Strategy Every Woman in Business Needs

Your network is only as strong as your ability to build & retain strong relationships. In this powerful friendship workshop, Moni introduces her R.A.R.E. framework to help women redefine how they show up in friendships and in business. This experience is designed for women entrepreneurs who are ready to strengthen their trust factor, build authentic connections, and become more reliable, aligned, and impactful in every room they enter.

Because when your mindset around friendship shifts, your confidence, network, and opportunities expand with it. This isn’t just about connection—it’s about becoming the kind of woman people trust, refer, and grow with. Starting with yourself. 

 

Moni is a Community Builder & Connector and the owner of Evolve With Moni LLC, a social and self-development platform designed to help women connect to aligned & meaningful relationships, grow in purpose, and find true fulfillment.

She leads three powerful communities designed for different areas of growth:

• Friendship Community–A transformational space rooted in her signature 4-week “Winning in Friendship” experience, where women learn how to build reliable, authentic, and long-lasting relationships using the R.A.R.E. framework.
• Women on the Rise (Faith-Based Networking Community)–A purpose-driven community that brings women together through events, workshops, and shared experiences to grow in faith, business, and aligned connection.
• True Accountability Program (TAP)–A results-focused space for women ready to take action on their goals with structure, support, and community accountability.

At her core, Moni is passionate about helping women find their people, elevate their mindset, and thrive in communities that feel like home because she believes happier women create a happier world.

The Future of Housing in Your Neighborhood

Housing is changing across Washington — and for many homeowners, the conversation is starting close to home.

Join Dream DADU for a thoughtful, in-person homeowner seminar at the Mercer Island Community & Event Center exploring detached accessory dwelling units, also known as DADUs or backyard homes.

This free educational conversation is designed for Mercer Island, Bellevue and the Eastside homeowners who are curious about what today’s zoning changes may make possible, how detached ADUs can support family flexibility, and what to understand before beginning the design or feasibility process.

We’ll discuss how homeowners are thinking about DADUs for aging parents, adult children, long-term property planning, rental flexibility, and neighborhood-scale housing.

We will also highlight the impact of thoughtful design that enhances your neighborhood.

Bring your questions. No plans or project required.

This is simply a chance to learn, ask, and better understand what may be possible on your property.
